The bug

The sharp library by default limits the resolution to 268 megapixels: https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/api-constructor (see the limitInputPixels option).

I tried importing an image with 366 megapixels and ran into the following:

immich-microservices_1 | [Nest] 31 - 09/07/2023, 10:41:07 PM ERROR [JobService] Unable to run job handler (metadataExtraction/metadata-extraction): Error: Input image exceeds pixel limit

The result is rather unusual, the image shows up in immich but can't be metadata-extracted and no thumbnail is generated.

image

This is an image scanned on a flatbed scanner with high resolution.

I suggest we increase the limit somewhat. Setting limitInputPixels in sharp should allow for either unlimited (which feels bad) or a higher (1000 megapixels?) limit.

I've solved the immediate problem for now by reducing the resolution of the images I'm importing to Immich. For libraries, though, we need some way of handling this issue more gracefully

I get the same error.

image

To be honest, this is an image that was uploaded from an external library and I forgot that I had enlarged it with AI, it's really an unusual pixel size, but I guess it also happens with fewer pixels than that (?)
